When are people going to figure out that when someone disrespects/appropriate a culture.. a race.. the people of that culture and race are allowed to be mad and excuse me but it’s not your place to tell them not to be

Somebody better tell rbw that this blackface shit isn’t funny. I’m sorry, but a lack of cultural knowledge is not an excuse anymore. People need to be educated about issues and the history of those around them.

re: this entire blackface shitfest & regurgitating some of my tweets:
- being unintentionally racist is still being racist. your ignorance doesn’t exclude you from racism.
- you don’t get to tell people to “chill out” or “calm down” bc visceral reactions to racism are very real and very justified
- yes, educating mamamoo is a top priority, but you cannot just expect everyone to be civil & nice about this
- you’re talking about a topic as divisive as racism. you don’t get to decide what’s an acceptable reaction to racism.
- marginalized groups are not obligated to be nice/civil to ppl who are ignorant about blackface. nor is it their responsibility to educate.
- and finally, i’m willing to wait for their apology, and hope that they actually try to learn from this. however, you are not obligated to do that, bc if you feel the need to unstan, you should unstan

Colourism
Recently, I opened my eyes to a whole new concept - colourism. According to studies, 4 out of 10 women in Malaysia use a whitening product. Three quarters of Malaysian men find lighter skinned women to be more attractive. By 2018, the skin whitening industry is expected to be worth $19.8 billion (world wide).
So what exactly is going on?
Colourism is discrimination based on skin colour. That is the dictionary definition. For me, I have personal stories attached to the meaning.
Colourism is when I’m walking in a mall, and I’m stopped by a sales girl, who is trying to sell me a lightning cream so that it will make my skin ‘prettier’.
Colourism is when my friend told me to eat oranges because it would make my skin lighter. There is something wrong when someone casually implies that I need to make my skin lighter. (Quick science: The natural bleaching properties in citrus fruits help to reduce hyper pigmentation). Though one may want to correct hyper pigmentation (However, bare in mind hyper pigmentation is harmless and it’s not necessary to correct it), it is completely another story to want to make your skin a few shades lighter as a whole.
Colourism is when I was giving art lessons to little kids and I passed them a brown coloured pencil to colour in a drawing of a person, and they replied back saying ‘teacher, skin is not brown, it’s peach colour’. That broke my heart because their skin was a darker shade than the pencil in my hand.
At such a young age, they were conditioned to believe that their skin colour was wrong. It wasn’t valid.
Now people will tell me, ‘Oh come on, it’s just a person selling a product. It’s just a friend recommending what to eat. It’s just kids being kids’.
I fully understand that and Im aware that they meant well. Their intentions were not harmful. But we have to look at the bigger picture.
Intent does not chance impact.
The impact of colourism is harmful. It is psychologically and physically damaging.
POC’s are growing up thinking they are not good, not beautiful and even not smart enough.Studies show that a person with lighter skin is more likely to get hired for a job than a darker skinned person with the same skills. Industries are profiting off of people’s insecurities. It perpetuates white supremacy. It systematically puts darker skinned people at a disadvantage. According to a research by Stanford, darker skinned defendants are more likely to get the death penalty than lighter skinned defendants.
The problem of colourism is prevalent from self-confidence and self-wroth, to wage rates, to marriages and relationships to the criminal justice system.
To whoever that has the privilege of using the internet and the opportunity to educate ones self through it, I believe it’s a moral obligation for you to be aware and to work against over coming internalized colourism that has been instilled in all of us for far too long.

In case you wanna read the article this quote is from: http://rolereboot.org/culture-and-politics/details/2016-05-daughter-know-ok-angry/
Adaptable girls find socially acceptable ways to internalize or channel their discomfort and ire, sometimes at great personal cost. Passive aggressive behavior, anxiety, and depression are common effects. Sarcasm, apathy, and meanness have all been linked to suppressed rage. Troublesome behaviors, such as lying, skipping school, bullying other people, even being socially awkward are often signs that a teenager is dealing with anger that they are unable to name as anger.
Girls, taught to ignore their anger, become disassociated from themselves.
Anger is so successfully sublimated that girls lose the ability to understand what it feels and looks like. Is her heart racing? Does she feel flushed or shaky? Does she clench her jaws at night? Is she breaking out in hives? Does she cry for no reason? Laugh inappropriately during difficult conversations? Fly off the handle over something that seems inconsequential? You can see where I’m going here…those crazy girl hormones, right? Better to just think of it as a phase.
For too many women, however, the phase never ends. It’s lives spent never expressing anger at all and believing that they don’t have the right or ability to do so without great risk.
